how to change buttontext in vbnet using code

[Braven]

I tried using this code(below) to change the button text when i run the code from "Button1" to "Click" but when i run the code the name still remains "Button1" and if i click the button the name then changes to "Click". I want the code to show "Click" on the button when i run it not when i click it. Please, how do i do this? And would it work for other tools like label?

Public Class Form1

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    Button1.Text = "Click"

End Sub

End Class

You should use the form's OnShown event to initialize such things.

It should work as written. For example, to toggle between two strings you could code

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

    If Button1.Text = "On" Then
        Button1.Text = "Off"
    Else
        Button1.Text = "On"
    End If

End Sub

or more concisely

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

    Button1.Text = IIf(Button1.Text = "On", "Off", "On")

End Sub
